miles literally dying in mirror dance and memory dealing with the metaphorical death of his naismith persona, and focusing on miles trying to find a meaning to his life after he loses everything he thinks gave it meaning, is so good. lord vorkosigan has always felt less real to miles than admiral naismith, and this book forces miles to confront that. stops his forward momentum and asks him to simply live. not for glory or to prove anything to anyone or to win the game. you just go on

#vorkosigan saga #memory #i'm 1/3 through and i don't know where this will go but so far it's very good!!#and i enjoy the slow pace a lot after how hectic mirror dance was #also i would be surprised if his naismith persona was actually gone for good #but it would be interesting if it was! it's time to be lord vorkosigan
